Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (3 large)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 jars (10 oz. each) maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
  • 2 cups (12 oz.) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 10 oz. package mini marshmallows
  • Chopped salted peanuts, slice ripe banana or dried banana chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375. Grease a 15×10×1-inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs; mix well. Beat in bananas, sour cream and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the butter mixture. Transfer to the prepared pan.

  3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Top with the chopped cherries, chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and peanuts. Bake until chips are slightly melted and marshmallows puff, 3-5 minutes longer. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Top with sliced bananas or banana chips before serving.
